Demolition · Southwest Ranches, FL
In Southwest Ranches, Sunshine State Junk Removal tears down everything from a single storage shed to a whole house, inside or out, and hauling the debris off the property is part of the job. Most lots in town are an acre or more, so the structure coming down often sits well back from the road. Photos that show the route from your driveway to the work area, texted to (954) 247-1399, let us quote it accurately.

Southwest Ranches incorporated in 2000 after residents voted to form their own town rather than be annexed into a neighbor such as Pembroke Pines or Davie. Its official motto is "Preserving Our Rural Lifestyle," and town rules back that up: homes aren't allowed on lots smaller than one acre, and streetlights and sidewalks are generally kept out. Some properties are small farms or equestrian ranches.
The town is made up of three separate, non-contiguous areas covering about 13 square miles, and the 2020 census counted 2,480 housing units across them. It sits on the eastern edge of the Everglades, roughly 15 miles southwest of Fort Lauderdale.
General guidance
In general, acreage properties collect secondary structures over the years: sheds, pole barns, covered stalls, workshops and decks that outlive their purpose. Those are usually the first things torn down on a large lot, well before anything inside the house. Wood-frame outbuildings are bulky but fairly light. Concrete pads, slabs and footings are another matter and add weight quickly, which changes the trailer plan.
Big lots also tend to mean long carries. When a structure sits far from where a trailer can park, the labor goes up even if the pile of debris is modest, so mention soft ground, gates, fencing or livestock areas along the route.
We serve Sunshine Ranches, Rolling Oaks, Green Meadow, Country Estates, Ivanhoe Estates, Landmark Ranch Estates and Sterling Ranch Estates, plus properties along the Griffin Road corridor and near Equestrian Oasis, Vista View Park and Frontier Trails Park.
Because the town comes in three disconnected pieces, include your street when you reach out. It tells us which section you're in and how to route the trailer to your gate.

Read about this job →Southwest Ranches is its own town, so ask the Town of Southwest Ranches building department about your project, not a neighboring city's office. Check with them before any structure comes down. Permits stay with the landowner or the builder they hire; Sunshine never applies for one.
FAQ
Yes. Barn, shed and outbuilding tear-downs are a common request on acre-plus properties. Send photos of the structure and of the path from the driveway to it, and mention gates or soft ground, because a long carry adds labor to the quote.
No. That paperwork belongs to the owner of the land or whoever they've hired to run the project. Check with the town's building department first; we schedule the tear-down once you're cleared to go ahead.
Yes, just say so up front. Some owners keep the slab for a replacement structure, others want it broken out. Concrete removal is heavier work and needs its own trailer plan, so we quote it as a separate line.
The town is served from our Southwest Ranches location, so the drive is short to Sunshine Ranches, Rolling Oaks or any of the estates neighborhoods.
The closest one is in neighboring Weston. A pool company handled a pool deck demo, and we dropped off an 18-yard trailer early that morning. The concrete and dirt were kept as clean fill and recycled, which saved the customer disposal fees. Sunshine supplied the trailer only.
